in thread Testing failures: How to override print to make it fail?

If you're printing to a filehandle, then use a IO::File-derived class that will encapsulate that die for you, and test that. I'm not quite sure how STDOUT or STDERR runs out of space, though.

  • In general, if you think something isn't in Perl, try it out, because it usually is. :-)
